Shin Kazama was an airline pilot who was on the verge of marrying Ryoko Tsugumo, the daughter of Yamato Airlines' CEO. However, fate intervened when his former best friend, Satoru Kanzaki, deceived him into signing a contract to serve as a mercenary pilot for the Kingdom of Asran. Currently stationed at Area 88, a base in this Middle Eastern nation, Shin has three options to return to Japan: complete three years of service in the air force, accumulate US$1.5 million, or desert the base, which carries the risk of immediate death.
